What This Workflow Does

This automation solves the common challenge of manually transferring new leads from your CRM to your email marketing platform. Every time a new contact is created in Freshsales, Make.com automatically adds them as a subscriber to your specified MailerLite group. This eliminates:

  • Time wasted on manual data entry between systems
  • The risk of human error in contact transfers
  • Delays in adding leads to nurture sequences

The workflow ensures your sales and marketing teams stay perfectly aligned. New leads immediately enter your email campaigns while their complete CRM data is preserved for segmentation and personalization.

Pro tip: Combine this with a welcome email sequence in MailerLite to engage new leads within minutes of them entering your CRM.

How It Works

3. MailerLite Action
